A British man, Derek Williams, had his prison term suspended by Judge John Rogers. Williams feels like a lucky man. Prison over crowding in the United Kingdom has led to a dictate being sent to judges to only jail the most dangerous offenders.
Child advocacy groups are deeply troubled by the suspended sentence as it tells criminals that breaking child porn laws is not that bad. Meanwhile all criminals now have a better chance of not serving prison time, getting out early or possibly something even else. Judges are having their hands tied by the lack of jail space. Maybe the United Kingdom and the United States should start exporting prisoners to penal colonies in Iraq to alleviate the over crowding in prisons and reduce the cost.
Maybe the Iraqi's and the Iraqi insurgents might band together for the common good to defend their country against the worst criminals in the west instead of turning their worst criminals against themselves and the foreign invaders'.
Its a dumb idea, but very ironic none the less.
